Ah I tried to get that to work but it seemed like a lot more than I am prepared for. However, I was able to get it to work. Instead of querying the Record Type I just queried the fields individually and was able to get the results I wanted.

Using HTML encoded characters in a record.

Is there anyway to allow for a non-binding space &nbsp; or other HTML encoded character to be used in a semantic record? The issue I am running into is that the ; character gets treated by the software as the end of a record.

For example: Say I have a marriage record that is set up to have the last names of 2 people who got married, the year of their marriage and the country they were married in.

[[has marriage::Jones & Smith; 1990; United States]] seems light it should work. The problem is that the & gets encoded as &amp;. Then the software sees the ; and I end up with a record that looks like: Jones & Smith; 1990 because the ; at the end of &amp; is treated as the end of one part of the record. Anyone know any way around this?
